ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa, Jan. 26, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Alpha Omega Publications is pleased to announce the expansion of its Ignitia online curriculum with the addition of six new courses to its Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Advanced Placement (AP) programs.

The newest Ignitia courses include two Office Applications electives for Microsoft Office, as well as Principles of Coding, which introduces middle school students to the rapidly growing career field of computer science. With the latest offerings, Ignitia now boasts a total of 43 hands-on CTE electives for grades 6-12.

"Our rigorous CTE coursework promotes critical thinking, emphasizes problem solving, and encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning," said Brian Lambert, vice president of curriculum development. "With more options, students have increased freedom to choose courses that pique their interests while placing them on a path to be successful lifelong learners."

In addition, Ignitia has added AP courses in Comparative Government and Politics, English Language and Composition, and U.S. Government and Politics.

"We're excited to now have seven AP courses that our Christian schools can offer to their students to help them pass their Advanced Placement exams and stand out when applying to colleges," Lambert said.
